Watch the Decemberists on "The Simpsons"

"Now who wants to learn a song about press gangs and infanticide?"

As previously reported, tonight's episode of "The Simpsons" will feature the Decemberists, who are hired as music teachers at Springfield Elementary. Watch a clip below, in which Colin Meloy asks the children if they want to "learn a song about press gangs and infanticide".

In the episode, a couple from Portland (Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein) move to Springfield with their pretentious son (Patton Oswalt), so naturally, Homer tries to cultivate a "younger, hipper image." Not to nitpick, but isn't "Homer tries to be cool" the same basic premise of the 1996 episode with Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, and Cypress Hill? Just sayin'.
